Popup: Will open one popup per monitor and allow you to arrange them on your local monitors freely.
Volume
Change volume of the outgoing audio stream
Keyboard
On Windows, send a CTRL+ALT+DEL to the remote computer. For all OS, change the keyboard mode here:
Virtual Key Codes: Send a virtual key code to the remote machine. This mode is keyboard mapping dependent
Unicode: Send unicode key presses. This mode is keyboard mapping independent. This mode does not handle long keypresses for app shortcuts.
Mouse
Windows Only, change the mouse mode:
Absolute: Send absolute mouse positions to the remote computer
Relative: Send relative mouse movements to the remote computer. Use this mode if you are using FPS controls where your mouse movements change your view direction (in a game for example)
Cursor
If you have difficulty displaying some specific applications cursors, put the mode Software otherwise leave it to Hardware. Software may introduce a small lag in your mouse movements.
Video Decoder
Choose the best way to decode the Reemo Streaming with your Chrome browser:
Software: CPU Decoding. Less delay but can be jittery on complex scenes.
Hardware: GPU Decoding. Introduce more decode delay but smoother than software decoding. Best suited for complex scenes.
Audio/Video Sync
Adjust audio delay, especially if you use the hardware mode Video Decoder to sync audio and video streams.
FPS
Force the max FPS from 60 (default) to 30 FPS. You can use this setting to improve video quality on low bandwidth environment sacrificing video smoothness.
Gamepad - Windows Only
This link redirects you to a driver to install. Reemo requires the installation of the Windows ViGEm driver (https://github.com/ViGEm/ViGEmBus/releases) on your remote computer. Reemo 1.9.0.0 or higher is required in order to ensure compatibility with the Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus driver. After the driver is installed, start a new Reemo session, push a button or two on your controller, it should appear on your remote Computer. You can test that everything is working by visiting https://gamepad-tester.com
Show Stats
Gives information on your connection
Show Peers List
Show the list of currently connected peers to this computer. This will appear if your Reemo Service is up to date with the multi-user/collaboration feature. When other peers connect to your computer, they will appear in this list.
You can toggle permissions to authorize mouse/keyboard for a peer by clicking the corresponding icon in the list. If you want to disconnect a peer, click on the cross in the list, the peer will be disconnected immediatly.
Privacy Screen - Windows Only

Immersive Mode
Immersive mode can be disabled if you struggle to understand that you are not on your local computer. Disabling immersive mode will put a purple outline around your remote monitor to visualize that your are inside a remote session.
Peripherals
Tablet and Pen pressure
Pen pressure is captured in your Browser and synthetized on the remote end. No drivers needs to be installed on the remote computer. On MacOS Reemo uses standard API for synthetizing pressure. On Windows, Reemo uses Windows Ink API. On Windows Windows Ink should be the configured API method for the pressure to work in your remote softwares. A quick way of knowing if the pressure is captured and transferred with Reemo is to test pressure on this page (both locally and remotely): https://patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tracker/multi-touch-tracker-pointer-hud-pep.html
Note
On Windows, ensure that the remote computer has no connected tablet/pen while reemoting as this may interfere with Reemo pressure synthetization. Please also ensure that your remote software and local tablet are configured to use Windows Ink.
Webcam/Microphone
Reemo uses virtual webcam and microphone drivers developped by Reemo’s parent company Hubitech. Only available on Windows, they need to be installed on the remote computer to emulate a webcam and a microphone. Once installed they will appear in your remote computer device manager:
To install the drivers follow this example:
md "c:\program files\reemo"
powershell Invoke-WebRequest 'https://downloads.reemo.io/drivers/drivers.zip' -OutFile 'c:\Program Files\reemo\drivers.zip'
powershell Expand-Archive -LiteralPath 'c:\Program Files\reemo\drivers.zip' -DestinationPath 'c:\Program Files\reemo\'
"c:\Program Files\reemo\drivers\reemic\devcon.exe" install "c:\Program Files\reemo\drivers\reemic\reemic.inf" Root\reemic
"c:\Program Files\reemo\drivers\reecam\devcon.exe" install "c:\Program Files\reemo\drivers\reecam\reecam.inf" REECAM
Note
In your favorite remote software be sure to select the Reemo microphone and camera as input devices.
Virtual Monitor
If you want to use Reemo on an headless computer, Reemo provides a Virtual Monitor driver developped by Reemo’s parent company Hubitech. Only available on Windows, it needs to be installed on the remote computer to emulate up to 5 monitors.

Note
If you have no sound after making your remote computer headless, you might want to install the Reemo Audio Soundcard driver below.
Virtual Audio Soundcard
If your remote computer has no soundcard, Reemo provides a Virtual Audio Soundcard driver developped by Reemo’s parent company Hubitech. Only available on Windows, it needs to be installed on the remote computer to enable audio on computers or virtual machines with no soundcard.

powershell Invoke-WebRequest 'https://downloads.reemo.io/drivers/reemaudio.zip' -OutFile 'c:\Program Files\reemo\reemaudio.zip'
powershell Expand-Archive -LiteralPath 'c:\Program Files\reemo\reemaudio.zip' -DestinationPath 'c:\Program Files\reemo\'
"c:\Program Files\reemo\reemaudio\devcon.exe" install "c:\Program Files\reemo\reemaudio\reemaudio.inf" Root\reemaudio
Virtual Audio Driver for MacOS
If you have an older version of MacOS (older than Ventura) you will need to install a separate driver to capture your desktop audio. BlackHole provides a GPL licensed driver that Reemo can record. You will need Reemo for MacOS 1.3.1 and above.
To install the driver:
brew install blackhole-2ch
or you can download the installer provided here: https://existential.audio/blackhole/
Virtual USB Driver
If you need USB forwarding, Reemo provides a Virtual USB driver developped by Reemo’s parent company Hubitech. Only available on Windows, it needs to be installed on the remote computer to enable USB forwarding support. Once installed you will also need the USB companion App of the local computer to forward local USB devices. USB Forwarding support requires Reemo for Windows 1.13.0.1 and above.
To install the driver follow this example:
md "c:\program files\reemo"
powershell Invoke-WebRequest 'https://downloads.reemo.io/drivers/reemousb.zip' -OutFile 'c:\Program Files\reemo\reemousb.zip'
powershell Expand-Archive -LiteralPath 'c:\Program Files\reemo\reemousb.zip' -DestinationPath 'c:\Program Files\reemo\'
"c:\Program Files\reemo\reemousb\devcon.exe" install "c:\Program Files\reemo\reemousb\reemousb.inf" ROOT\ReemUSB
To forward local USB devices, your local computer needs to run the Reemo USB Companion App:
